Teaching Kids to Change the World: Lessons to Inspire Social Responsibility for Grades 6-12, by Jennifer Griffin-Wiesner and Chris Maser, helps adults equip and empower youth to think critically about social and environmental problems - and take action to make a difference in their world! Thematic lessons, inspired examples, and concrete activities guide students in grades 6-12 to comprehend the long-term impact of their efforts and the benefits of sustainability.
The book includes:
- 26 lessons shaped around environmental, social, civic, and personal responsibility themes and practical ways to engage young people in community change.
- Activities that encourage youth to think outside the box and create solutions that contribute to community sustainability.
- Reflection questions and 16 resource handouts that lead young people into meaningful discussions, deepen their awareness and ability to speak up, and motivate them to take an active role in community life.
- Adaptable, age-appropriate suggestions for service projects and social actions that help teens and preteens create the social and environmental changes they wish to see.
Grounded in the belief that building a hopeful future requires the voices and active participation of youth, the eight principles of social and environmental sustainability presented in Teaching Kids to Change the World add up to a powerful, positive vision for change.
A Web Resources appendix of organizations that provide extensive
background materials, lessons, readings, and additional links for
teachers and students on such topics as community service, disability
awareness, youth development, social activism, human rights, and the
environment.
